Hello Internet - and welcome back to Project: Anubis - sorry, I mean welcome back to Life’s
Biggest Questions, the channel where we blur the lines of reality and succumb to existentialism
like a twelve course tasting menu.
As always, I’ll be your host Jack Finch - who is in no way affiliated with the SCP
Foundation - as we put down our cliff-notes, promptly stack our papers - and ask the question,
What If The SCP Foundation Was Breached?
Roll the tape.
Before we begin folks, please make sure to hit that subscribe bell - so you can stay
tuned with our latest and greatest uploads - and if you enjoyed this video, why don’t
you go ahead and give it a thumbs up - and share it with your fellow operatives.
Now, as the third video in this SCP based series, we’re going to be building upon
the inner machinations of the SCP Foundation as a whole - as well as its affiliates, its
enemies and it's not so friendly friends.
Like many of you know, the SCP Foundation is a machine with many moving parts - that
in many cases operates in complete independence, in remote locations - due to a high probability
of things often going very, very wrong.
Take SCP-2935 for example, which is a Level 4 Keter class containment that essentially
signals the end of all life as we know it.
2935 is a portal into a space-time anomaly, miraged as a limestone cave beneath a cemetery
in Joppa, Indiana.
It leads into an alternate reality - a nearly exact replica of Modern Earth in the year
2016 - with the only exception being that all biological and non-biological life was
mysteriously wiped out on April 20th, 2016.
A mobile task force, that initially entered the anomaly for reconnaissance purposes, found
something that they presumably feared would exit back into our reality - so without warning
and for unknown reason - dropped a nuke on their own location.
Essentially, in this space-time anomaly, the SCP Foundation has very much been breached.
If we take the data recovered from 2935’s mobile task force - we can see that a Massive
Transmitter Error was initially reported from Site-81, a location in Indiana.
After this breakdown of communication, 100% of all SCP sites across the globe were locked
down and unresponsive - due to a containment breach of unknown magnitude.
In this scenario, all citizens - presumably everyone on the planet - were ordered to stay
in their homes as containment teams worked to secure the breach.
Well, yeah, it didn’t go too well, and recon teams recovered data that appeared to show
100% cell death of all biological life on the alternate Earth.
How did our Foundation respond to this unsolvable crisis?
Well - they pumped the whole cave full of concrete and forbade access to anyone at any
level.
They won’t even throw a Class D down there to see what happens - they want absolutely
none of it - ignorance is bliss.
Talking of Class D, we haven’t really covered the essential peons and plebs of the SCP employee
roster.
In line with Foundation policy, Class D are expendable personnel who are used to handle
extremely hazardous anomalies - with the essential goal of figuring out the inner workings of
a skip.
In layman's terms, they’re the lemmings and the Foundation is the cliff.
Class D personnel are typically drawn from the consistently enlarged pool of prison inmates
across the globe - but only those that have been convicted of violent crimes, and especially
those that are on death row.
However, in certain situations, Protocol 12 may be enacted - which allows the Foundation
to stretch these rules, and seek recruitment from other, wider sources - such as political
prisoners, refugee populations and other civilian sources.
Without Class D personnel - the Foundation would find it incredibly difficult to contain
the vast array of anomalies at their disposable and essentially, they are the lifeblood of
the SCP.
But - and it’s a big but - in the event of a containment breach, or a catastrophic
site event, all Class D personnel are ordered to be terminated immediately by on-site security.
Unless they can find a way to survive, that is - like in the instance of D-9341 and their
[DATA REDACTED] [DATA REDACTED] [DATA REDACTED].
Anyway, the Foundation’s main motivation is to prevent an end-of-the-world event, most
likely originating from the myriad of Keter Class containments under the Foundation’s
sphere of influence, joyfully dubbed as an XK-Class Scenario.
Complete end of the world AKA - we’re all dead!
There are over 100 potential XK-Class anomalies - including SCP-4000, a sentient, reality
ending dragon - or SCP-1548, a hateful star that’s sole purpose it to destroy Earth.
There are a number of differing catastrophic classes though, including CK - where a new
species becomes the dominant beings on Earth, bye bye humanity.
Or ZK - where reality as we know it ceases to exist.
There’s also GH - or the Dead Greenhouse effect, where nearly all life is extinct,
but the Earth survives and remains viable in some form or another.
Or LK - Human Restructuring, where humanity remains alive but altered in a way that no
longer resembles our very essence of existence.
If the SCP Foundation Was Breached - the likelihood would be that it was due to one of these catastrophic
scenarios.
Because, let’s face it, a normal containment breach - AKA SCP-173 breaking out of it’s
cell - well that’s just a walk in the park for the Foundation.
Things get out - casualties occur, witnesses are forcibly given amnestics - and the whole
damn mess is cleaned up by Military Task Force Epsilon-11 - or Nine Tailed Fox - a crack
force of security personnel whose sole purpose is to plug any leaks in the system.
But what if that goes wrong?
Well, maybe it already has.
Take the Ennui Protocol for example, an amnestic administered to the O5 Council under unanimous
decision - for when situations arise that even the big players of the Foundation have
to say - screw it, I’m out.
Because essentially, that’s the best course of action.
If the SCP Foundation was to be breached, then in all likelihood the population of the
planet would be wiped out.
Whether it’s 100% cell death, solar scorching, an ancient war waged by a sentient dragon
- or the Scarlet King obliterating reality itself.
The choice of our demise would be our only saving grace - and there’s something comforting
in that, I guess?
Well - what do you guys think?
How would you respond to a Foundation breach?
